1) Very loud
2) Wrong

improvising isnt my strong point so its either just like paridise (vai) or crazy train solo lol.

I usually would play Surfing, followed by being approached by a salesperson as soon as I fail the solo....

Any Satch that pops into my head at the time. At the moment, it would be likely to be Back to Shalla-Bal. I remember doing Building the Church once too. Never whole songs though, just important bits.

callen3615 · #36 07-28-2009, 08:21 PM

I'm there with you on this, I've never played a single song in a guitar shop

and I just rather improvise over various techniques and see how the guitar works for me, and I also like to beat the sh*t out of the whammy bars if applicable

Steve Vai - Hand on Heart. For some reason they always seem to turn their heads on that first harmonic.

i stuck with the timing in the end -_- i have to practice it more

Timbaline · #40 08-02-2009, 05:18 AM

I just practice my 7 string sweeps and 8 finger tapping. People turn their heads and usually say: OMFG I CAN'T EVEN DO 3 STRING SWEEPS, THIS GUY CAN DO 7!!!!!!!!! Then there was this one time I was playing scarified, some random guy picked up a guitar and started playing Bruce's part of the song. Best duet with a guy I've never met before.

skins345669 · #42 08-19-2009, 07:16 PM

Overdone though.

From my days of selling musical instruments and managing music stores I developed a little riffage/noodling piece that I always used to play to demonstrate an instrument. I had played the piece so many times, with minor adjustments/differences over the years that it became a part of what I did. I never realized until a buddy of mine, also way better guitarist than I was, who worked with me for many years pointed it out to me by mimicking the very piece at a recording session we were at. No one else got the joke but we were rolling on the floor laughing our @sses off!! I still play this piece to warm up every time I pick the guitar up to do something...

Never, Eruption tapping totally impresses nowadays

And after reading this thread I am now working on my ultra extremely impressive guitar store song.

It'll be like the Serrana arppegios, except easier to play, faster, and more key changes

Good lord how could somebody compare a Vai song with that cheese crap pop song?
With that screaming out of tune goat singer!
Stairway to hell that's what it's.
LOL
